I have made it work really well. I now want to use the Openvdeoplayer (http://openvideoplayer.sourceforge.net/) and code in as3. I am trying to convert the function that receives the text and shows it in a box under the player. The original as2 function was the following.

But I can see that it is not listening to the stream. I thought that I should be using 'addEventListener', but I am getting nowhere. I am using the Akamai example CS4sampleLive and I have attached both files. They compile fine but into a nice swf but they don't pick up the data. I am still using the orignial code in the main.asc on my fms 3.5 server and the insert.swf.

Many thanks for this, I have added it within the last public function and it compiles correctly. I think I understand what is going on, but will have to wait a little until I can test all the way through as I am out of the office at the moment.

I am happy to accept your solution and close this, but for interests sake I dug right down into the OPV code and in the end used OvpEvent.NETSTREAM_TEXTDATA which had a data type of data in my function. So with great joy it all worked.

Hope this helps others,

Emincote
